Life

After attending the grammar school classes in Regensburg , the landlord and farmer's son entered the Reichenbach am Regen monastery in 1751 and made his profession on December 8, 1752 . He was ordained a priest as early as 1753 . He studied philosophy in the Schottenkloster St. Jakob Regensburg in order to work as professor of philosophy of the Bavarian Benedictine Congregation in Scheyern Monastery from 1756 , then in Benediktbeuern Monastery , where he then taught theology until 1766 , from 1765 in particular the Holy Scriptures. After falling ill in 1766, instead of teaching in 1767, he had to provide the parish of Wall until he was ordered back as abbot prior to the Reichenau monastery. On January 18, 1773, the Benedictines postulated him as abbot prelate in Ensdorf monastery . He improved the country schools there, introduced German church chanting in church services, expanded the library and study opportunities, improved the monastery economy and built new buildings. In particular, he set up a pedagogy for the training of elementary school teachers. After his death, the government forbade a new abbot election, so that he was the last abbot of the Ensdorf monastery before its abolition on January 25, 1802.
